PyPI is just one gear in the quite broken Python packaging mess. But I hope it’s a good starting point!

  I'm waiting for the day when setuptools and pip are a thing of the past.

    What would you expect to replace pip?

      Another layer on top of another layer, on top of another layer, that ultimately uses pip. Of course! People want to replace pip with poetry, despite poetry being just an extra layer of complication on top of pip.

  As someone that has dealt with PSF and PyPI at a product level for packaging at the intersection of Python and AI for compute hardware, we consider PyPI an immature ecosystem. It's absolutely great for python libraries, but that's it. It's not ready for the flood of AI hardware that is coming. Mojo looks promising, but not sure how it's going to interact with PyPI.
